Norman, thrived as a rookie at OG but moving to C has not worked out. Still will be a strting OG. Fabien in 13 has been slowed by injury, and Hunter Steward last seasons looks to be able to Play RT very soon in the CFL. Injury has slowed his progress after a great start. T’dre Player also a rookie in ’14 played very well. May not be ready to start but showed he can provide depth as he works his way up.
You would have to think C would be the position and their are two that would be considered CFL ready. Ottawa may take one. Leving 3 picks inbetween. Winnipeg would likely want the best they could get to be able to play right away. An OG who can play right away and RG is the lesser of pressure position along the Oline. Montreal has their C/Interior Olineman back from the NFL so likely will look for the top RT. Argo’s could go for a ready to plug and play RG which could come from a C or OT. That would be the one team that could take their C.
As for McKewan and his degree. Unless he is doing something like Norman that needs to be done in fall semester, he may likely be putting doubts in the minds of the bottom two teams from last season, who both were basically brande new across the board for coaches and Front office. While TOR, MTL, BC, are prove set strong base of staff and players.
There looks to be 5 Olineman that are interchangable in this draft as top Olineman, minus NFL bound Boyko, so they should get a another ready to go Olineman for the 4th straight season.
Harris and a talented crew of National REC as well as potential of 4 National Olineman gives them plenty of quality options for 6 ratio spots on offense.
Ackie looks to be one heck of a player but so do those 5 Olineman. BC is pretty set at LB and DB including now Rwakumba with McGarva behind him at S being both Nationals.
I thin Waud DL, Demski SB/Hybrid, and RB Shaq-M Lawrence are in or close to that category as well. Unique to be able to get what may be considered a top player and fill a need right away.
